Gospel Singer Evelyn Wanjiru and Husband Expecting First Child After a 10-Year Wait

Renowned Kenyan gospel singer Evelyn Wanjiru and her husband Agundabweni Akweyu have announced they are expecting their first child together.

An elated Wanjiru took to social media on Tuesday to share the good news as she celebrated the end of a 10-year wait for a child.

“As I write this, my eyes are full of tears. I have been waiting for this season for 10 years in my marriage,” She wrote.

“A blessed womb, God has fulfilled his promise in our lives.”

Wanjiru prayed for other couples who are almost giving up on trying to start a family and heaped praise on her husband for staying by her side.

“Look at us and see what the Lord has done. Friends and family I tell you; There's a distinct difference, anybody can be a father but it takes a special man to be a DAD. This man right here @agundabweni is a gift from God to me,” Wanjiru wrote.

Wanjiru noted that she kept her faith during the 10-year wait even though she privately asked God questions. 

“Where are you? Until when, how many more doctors shall we see?" the ‘Ila Damu’ hitmaker revealed. 

“Then I would hear a voice saying Get encouraged.”

In an interview with Nairobi News in 2020, the singer said her spouse was supportive despite the societal pressures that came with the long wait for a child.

“Marry someone who can carry the weight and burden of your vision. Marriage is beyond sex and bearing children. It’s disastrous to marry someone who doesn’t show any interest in what you’re called to do. As you are falling in love with him, he should also fall in love with their calling, profession passion, and vision,” Wanjiru said.
